I enjoy making my own T&W rigs for trolling for stripers and bluefish. They are very effective up here in the Northeast. I use Rit dye in a pot of hot (not boiling) water to dye the tubing I use. I cannot seem to get the "bubblegum" pink color that I see sold commercially. Does any one out there know of a formula for this color? I have tried varios pinks but they don't come close. I use latex (amber) and various dias of pvc (clear) tubing.
